[Ginko is once again sitting under a tree, damp hair still dripping occasionally, taking a break from walking around in the rain. It's easy enough to tune out the strange singing that he's been hearing lately--he's not sure what it is, but since it doesn't appear to be hurting him, he's willing to let it lie--and listen to the sound of humans instead.
Or... whatever this creature happens to be. But it sounds intelligent. It recognizes the Hitomi as a communications device; it must be another person, pulled from his or her (or whatever) world, and dumped here by the Gods.
It's easy enough to think of this creature as an Oniko, or a close equivalent. So Ginko's voice is relaxed when he replies.]
I can hear you.
You're in a place called Kannagara; the Gods that rule this place brought you here.
'Gods' is what they call themselves. They even claim names I'm familiar with.
But if it bothers you to think of them that way, then think of them as powerful beings that basically have control over our lives.
[He doesn't care which, really. As long as this person is aware that there really are such beings... not understanding that could lead to trouble for--the voice sounds masculine--him down the line.]
[Ginko thinks about it for a moment--well, his own experience is the most obvious, easiest example he can come up with. That it's also a very good example doesn't hurt.]
For example, they once made me think I was married to someone I had never met before. I believed it; I thought I had known the person for... weeks, months.
[There are words he doesn't say, that he only half-registers himself thinking--They made us think we were truly happy together. He frowns slightly, shaking his head a little to banish the thought.]
It only lasted a few days, but the deception was elaborate. Then they allowed us our true memories again.

Gods? I don't believe in Gods.
[The Utroms only believed in science. There was no room for make believe idols]

[What is a crocodile to say to that? He supposed as mutant who was raised by aliens, he should have a more open mind about these things.]

...anyway. Good luck avoiding things like that.
I haven't been here long, but I can try to answer any other questions you have.
